Devious Curses NG

[Whirly118]

Hi, I'm trying to use this mod in VR, I'm not using BEES, but the Skyrim VR ESL Support mod, which should have the same function. BEES even links to it as a VR version. I thought it would work as if I'm using BEES, right? Using Version Devious Curses NG 0.5.0

 

I'm currently getting this error:

I just installed on a new save but the MCM isn't showing up. Do I try the suggestions for a broken MCM when updating?

Yeah. Just running the setstage command should do it.

Just the odd, daft question:

How many mods with an MCM do you have? There's a limit. I don't remember the number, it was quite high, but if this mod is the n+1.th it cannot show up.

This should be fixed in 0.5.1. I haven't had time to extensively test it out myself, but I have fixed the immediate crash.

I don't know if this was addressed in the hotfix, I don't see an updated changelog. Anyhow, I feel like my character isn't triggering traps or events or anything at all anymore, and I'm  not sure why. I've checked in Resaver, no hung/broken scripts that I can see. Percent chance + variables is high enough that I should have come across at least one trap by now. Is there any way to see what the real-time trigger chance is? Or is there some way to jog the system so that it starts working again?

[Arasu69]

holy if this mod gets SGO4IF options that would instantly make it a must have in my mod loadouts and SGO has been getting a bunch of stuff as of late aswell cant wait to see what you add in 0.6 if you add it in that update or in the future

Version 0.5 had a couple of issues. Try again on 0.5.1. If it's still not working can you send over the Documents\My Games\Skyrim Special Edition\SKSE\DeviousCurses.log file? That includes a bunch of info about event triggers.

Hi there!

 

I just installed the mod. Didn't tried it yet.

 

I have all tattoos dependencies, but for some reason the MCM options for tattoos and marks are greyed (can't touch them).

 

Should it be this way?

 

(I installed tattoo dependencies After installing and running DCNG might be the cause.

 

Yet I deleted and reinstalled DCNG after the tattoos but they are greyed anyway).

 

Thanks!

[zwdragonbone8314]

Hi Cybercheese. Thank you for your mod. It is wonderful to play. I just wonder, is it possible to have some devious curse specific for vampire character? Like when trigger, it will suppress your vampire ability and prevent you to feed properly until you get rid of the device? Or lifting the curse?

[gamer098]

Is there any kind of cooldown between triggered consequences or traps? I didn't see anything mentioned in the MCM or this thread, but maybe I missed it.
Anyway, thanks for the mod! I am enjoying it.

Make sure that you have slave tats NG specifically. Also installing it over the original slave tats seems to help.

 

If that's still not working can you send over the Documents\My Games\Skyrim Special Edition\SKSE\DeviousCurses.log file?

Make sure that you are on version 0.5.1. Older versions had the log in a different location.

 

Otherwise it seems like the DeviousCurses.dll is not being loaded. That's the only reason that the log wouldn't exist.

Instead of a cooldown like DCL had, there is event scaling, reducing the chance of an event right after you triggered one. The settings for it are on the bottom of the first page of the MCM.

If you have lewd marks installed make sure that you reload the json data in the slave tats MCM. If that's not working I'm not sure what the problem is. You have Slave Tats NG installed correctly, and past that I check for lewd marks by calling the STNG interface.

As someone else asked about how many mods; I have a lot. I've never had this problem before, but maybe this is the first one to go over the limit. I don't think the mod is working at all, so I've just turned on DCL again until I get this figured out.

 

I will check this out and see if it gets stuff fixed. Thanks for the suggestion. Also, thanks to cybercheese for making this mod. The work and time is appreciated.

The log is in "<user directory>\My Games\Skyrim.INI". This is because the logdirectory function in the old commonlibsse-ng version used by DD, RandomSexNG, etc (and now also by SlaveTatsNG) is wrong, it returns "Skyrim.INI" instead of "Skyrim Special Edition/Skyrim VR/Skyrim Special Edition GOG/etc." (reloc address is wrong for Skyrim AE). In newer commonlibsse-ng versions this is fixed.

I dont quite understand. If ive never had your mod installed, do I still need to start a new game with version 5.1?

no. Only thing that might happen is that your LO will get messed up and other mods get borked.

A new game is recommended for a serious playthrough, but it you just want to ty if this mod is after your taste, make a hard save, install, have fun.

 

@cybercheese Didn't have any event trigger in the whole of Fellglow Keep, checked the logfile, all okay. I understood that the gold value is only checked for sacks, barrels etc, but it seems that every dead actor is checked, too. Would be nice if there's a toggle for humanoid 'containers' to always be valid, or the gold limit down to 5GS - none of them buggers carried enough to trigger the 10GS threshold.
